Our Mission


Listening, Caring and Sharing HOPE

I. To provide personal mentoring, workshops and seminars for the dispersing of information and gathering of tools needed for personal development, daily living and restoration from issues of grief. This includes providing the foundation needed for a safe place to grow, heal and thrive as survivors of child abuse, domestic violence and spiritual abuse walk paths to a mind/body/spirit restoration.

III. To educate individuals, organizations and communities for the awareness and prevention of child abuse, adequate child-safety education and provide assistance and awareness education for domestic violence victims and survivors by holding video and teacher-facilitated workshops and seminars.

III. To assist organizations by providing staff and employee mentoring and workshops to promote a healthy work environment and personal physical and emotional health.

IV. To provide transitional living assistance to single women and women with Children in Whispering Hope Transitional Homes.

Protecting Life’s Treasures
If you would like to join us in our mission to STOP child abuse through education please recommend us to your civic or youth organization, church or sports team. We are ready to present an excellent video workshop to enable parents to educate their own children and we have child-safety video workshop materials for ages pre-school through 8th grade. Or, you may wish to make a donation to fund a community workshop and/or host one for you friends, organization or neighborhood. (References available)

Do you know about Teen Screen? We feel it is vital for all parents, medical professionals, church and lay-workers--and public at large--to know the facts about a program called "TeenScreen." The best source of truthful information we have found can be accessed at: http://www.teenscreentruth.com


Individual Outreach:

Individual programs for women facilitated by a personal resource coach. The process combines spiritual and motivational wisdom combined with resource help for women to use to grow and thrive as they walk a biblical mind/body/spirit path to a rich and balanced life. Sometimes it is hard for individuals to figure out what plans are the best choices for their lives… especially when life is layered with challenging or disturbing circumstances. As a personal resource coach we help people realize what those plans might involve, and. help piece together the challenging or disturbing circumstances of their lives. We work with individuals to help define issues, create a blueprint to solve problems, provide encourage-ment, give needed support and often find outside resources for additional assistance. The skills we bring to this part of our outreach come from a combination of experiences as counselors, educators and diverse and numerous challenging life-experiences.
